Recently Cristo Rey (CR) has been a very comfortable place to be at, for jogging, in particular. Things are improved: security for vandalism, street lights, park lights, sidewalks, and tree canopy, the most important component for the place. Even though the hills are almost bare in dry season, the down part does have tree canopy where we can ask for shade to evade from hot sun light. Not only the tree canopy, open huts as well, necessary.
In my today's afternoon jogging, I found something new there. Four open huts lined alongside the bottom corridor of CR have been torn down to the ground. For your information, there are no huts anymore for people to use for picnic. I was asking around, with the security guards, whether they know something about prospect of the tearing down. They said the government plans to replace it with new type.
This is a good news because the old ones looked wearing out, and even the wooden elevated floor was already fragile. It would sink if it was overloaded. I knew because I ever tried by jumping on it, and felt it like that.
We hope the new type of huts are better than the old ones. It should be even more attractive, to add more of aesthetic value to CR park. By the way, I will put a follow up posting when I see the new ones completed.
**Hope this gives you an inspiration.
